Free Web NovelChapter 227: Chapter 226: Guessed It
Shu Yunfang saw Yiyi’s gaze and couldn’t help but frown, saying, "What do you mean by that?"
"Just now, because you tripped him, that’s why he fell."
Yiyi stated the fact calmly, "You could’ve walked past him, yet you insisted on confronting him head-on. When you were retreating, you stretched out your foot and tripped him. So, was it intentional?"
Shu Yunfang didn’t expect Yiyi to ask such a question and quickly widened her eyes, saying, "Of course I didn’t do it on purpose."
"How can you say that, young lady? Yunfang almost fell just now too, yet you suspect she deliberately tripped someone. Don’t be too excessive." Yu Qiulan didn’t really like Yiyi, and seeing her suspect Shu Yunfang made her impression of Yiyi even worse.
Cao Panpan, hearing this, stood up directly.
"Auntie, if Yiyi hadn’t reacted swiftly just now, that dish would have plastered her face, and it was indeed her fault. I saw it too; she tripped the waiter, which caused him to fall."
"I didn’t intentionally trip anyone. I was losing my balance and was panicking, so how could I trip someone?"
Yu Qiulan nodded unhappily at the side, saying, "Exactly, Yunfang was barely managing herself at that time. How could she think about tripping someone, and why would she do it intentionally to the waiter? You shouldn’t assume the worst of people."
It’s not that Yiyi assumed the worst, but she saw it with her own eyes. Yet Shu Yunfang’s mother was relentless.
"Aunt Yu, maybe she misunderstood me. You don’t have to get angry."
Upon hearing Shu Yunfang’s words, Yiyi realized she had been wrong all along. This dignified middle-aged woman wasn’t Shu Yunfang’s mother.
At this point, Yu Qiulan was already seething. She looked at the aggrieved Shu Yunfang, then at the strong-headed Yiyi, and the conspicuous Gu Family heirloom jade bracelet on her wrist. Unable to hold back, she pointed at Yiyi and said, "I don’t know what Tingyu sees in you. You’re not only unreasonable but also falsely accusing people."
Shu Yunfang hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Aunt Yu, she didn’t do it on purpose, don’t be mad."
However, Yu Qiulan didn’t want to say more and pulled Shu Yunfang forward.
Yiyi, seeing the two leave, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Could it be... that middle-aged woman was Gu Tingyu’s mother? This was certainly a memorable first meeting, but from the brief encounter, she noticed that Gu Tingyu’s mother disliked her and favored Shu Yunfang.
"Yiyi, what did that auntie mean just now? Who is Tingyu?"
Cao Panpan curiously looked at Yiyi.
Yiyi, hearing this, openly admitted, "Tingyu is my boyfriend." "Ah..."
The others all looked at Yiyi in surprise, even the usually silent An Xueqing couldn’t help but say, "You actually have a boyfriend already, when did this happen?"
"Actually, we haven’t been together for long."
Talking about Gu Tingyu, Yiyi’s face softened. It’s been a while since she last saw him, and she wondered when he would have a break again.
At this moment, Cao Panpan finally reacted.
"Yiyi, have we... caused you trouble? Was that auntie your boyfriend’s mom? She was so angry just now, she must have an opinion of you. Will it affect you and your partner?"
Yiyi shook her head directly upon hearing this and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t."
Although Yiyi said that, the others were still quite worried, so the delicious dishes in front of them lost their flavor. Finally, Tao Cuizhu suggested, "Yiyi, why don’t you go apologize to your partner’s mom? Maybe that would make her approve of you."
"It’s not necessary, dorm leader. What happened wasn’t our fault; that Shu Yunfang did stretch her foot, which caused the waiter to fall."
Cao Panpan nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I saw it too. If Yiyi hadn’t reacted quickly, she’d be soaked by now, and the dish was so hot, it might have scalded her face."
The others heard Cao Panpan’s words and fell silent.
Finally, Wei Xiwen looked at Yiyi and said, "Does that girl hate you, so she wants to mess with you? But you have to be careful in the future. I see your partner’s mom prefers that girl over you, if you truly like your partner, in the future you’ll..."
At the end, Wei Xiwen felt someone pulling her clothes, turning around she realized it was Feng Yudan, then she understood that her words were somewhat inappropriate. Although it was the truth, it would inevitably make people unhappy.
"Yiyi, I didn’t mean anything else. I’m just concerned for you."
Hearing this, Yiyi smiled and said, "I know you’re concerned about me, so it’s okay. I have to thank you all for your concern, but you don’t need to worry too much, my partner and I won’t be affected by this."
Hearing Yiyi say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
An Xueqing curiously asked, "Yiyi, haven’t you met your partner’s mom before?"
"Yeah, I haven’t met her. I’ve only met my partner’s grandparents and a cousin."
Hearing this, the others couldn’t help but sigh, "No wonder you don’t recognize her. If you had met her earlier, it wouldn’t be so awkward."
"Alright, alright, everyone stop talking, if you haven’t finished eating, hurry up."
Tao Cuizhu urged everyone to continue eating.
"Dorm leader, we’ve all had enough." Feng Yudan, who rarely spoke, said with a smile, before looking at the others.
"We’re all full."
Seeing this, Yiyi directly said, "Since we’re all full, let’s go. There’s a nice coffee shop nearby, we can go have a drink."
The others quickly waved their hands, saying, "No need, Yiyi, our stomachs are really too full, can’t eat anymore."
Finally, Yiyi returned to the boutique, while the others went back to school.
"Yiyi, was everyone happy with the lunch invitation today?"
Ding Yuejun saw her daughter return and couldn’t help but ask with a smile.
Yiyi nodded and said, "Everyone loved it, the food at that restaurant is pretty good. We can go there to eat in the future."
"Okay."
After chatting for a while, the mother and daughter began to busy themselves, unexpectedly Old Mrs. Gu came over in the afternoon.
"Yiyi, why didn’t you tell us your mother runs a boutique? If we had known earlier, we would’ve come to congratulate." At the end, the elderly lady looked at Yiyi with a bit of playful reproach.
Ding Yuejun seeing this, quickly said, "Aunt Gu, I specifically asked Yiyi not to tell. It’s just a small boutique, I wouldn’t dare trouble you to make a trip."
Old Mrs. Gu saw the gentle Ding Yuejun and had a good impression. Upon hearing this, she quickly said, "We are family now, so it’s necessary to interact, and shouldn’t happen again."
"Okay."
Ding Yuejun saw Old Mrs. Gu’s amiable demeanor, her eyes were full of smiles, feeling happy for Yiyi that the elderly woman truly considered Yiyi as her granddaughter-in-law.
